Begins with aerial view of athletic fields. The aggressively energetic tone of this commercial is set by the background music, “Tell It To The World”. A narrator speaks of how soccer is insignificant in American culture and in the sports arena. Aerial view end, and the film flashes to children playing soccer at a corn field. A fast-paced sequence of kids playing in the mud, on tennis courts, baseball diamonds, school yards and wherever follows. The film concludes with footing of a professional soccer tournament and close-ups of some players. The commercial closes with the words “Just Do It.”

Teleflora, Director Sune Sorensen, The Wonderful Agency Make A Wish and A Snowman For The Holiday Season
Director Sune Sorensen of production company Hey Baby teamed with The Wonderful Agency on this lovely story to ring in the holiday spirit for floral delivery service Teleflora.

And thanks to Make-A Wish, Matty sees the person whom the snowman represents--his father who’s away on naval duty.
The production was shot in Vancouver, Canada, and includes local talent and crew. Sorensen related, “It’s hard enough to find strong, believable, child actors let alone one who has to not only carry the story but also deliver complex emotions on cue.” Clearly, he found one. “When Aaron Stansberry auditioned, the entire room starting crying.

The commercial is part of the “Power of Wishes” campaign which empowers Americans to help Teleflora donate $250,000 to the nonprofit organization Make-A-Wish.

Donations are triggered when consumers order qualifying seasonal bouquets on Teleflora’s website, like the Teleflora and Make-A- Wish collaboration posts on Instagram or Facebook, or through an in-person activation at Rockefeller Center in New York City, where passersby can build a snowman on December 11. Teleflora will donate $10 to Make-A-Wish for every snowman built during the... Read More
